Edit | Zero Seven Story Meeting
One sunny morning in May 1973, I was preparing breakfast at home as usual, when suddenly the postman's shout came from outside the door.
I took the telegram from him, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart. When I opened it, it was actually sent by the army, and the content was concise and urgent: "Go to the company immediately and hold a wedding with Zhang Xiaojun." ”
I was stunned, Zhang Xiaojun is my fiancé and the person I love deeply, there are still a few months left in the original wedding date, why is it suddenly going to be held in advance?
I hurriedly explained the situation to my mother, her face full of concern, but encouraged me to embrace the sudden change. I simply packed my luggage, my heart was full of anxiety about the future and my thoughts about Zhang Xiaojun, and I stepped on the train to the barracks.
As the train slowly pulled out of the platform, I looked out the window at my hometown, and I couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in my heart.
As the train creaked along the tracks, the scenery outside the window receded like flowing water, and my mood rose and flowed. During this monotonous journey, I tried to calm myself down and organize my thoughts.
This unexpected wedding not only meant that my life with Zhang Xiaojun was about to begin, but also heralded that many unknowns and challenges awaited me. I can't help but think, as a military wife who is about to enter the barracks, what responsibilities do I need to bear and what difficulties do I face?
On the train, I met several passengers who either gave me sympathetic glances or warm encouragement. A middle-aged lady who was a military wife shared her experience with me.
Her words are full of resilience and optimism: "Life in the barracks is challenging, but it is also full of love and support. You're not fighting alone, you're all part of a team. Hearing her say that, I felt a little comforted in my heart.

Finally, the long train journey was over, and I changed to a car for a certain distance and finally reached the barracks on a dusty road. Zhang Xiaojun's comrades-in-arms had already learned of my arrival, and they greeted me warmly and solemnly.
Life in the barracks was different from what I had imagined, everything seemed so tense and orderly. Zhang Xiaojun stood in the middle of the line in a military uniform, and when he saw me, a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
The wedding soon took place in a humble auditorium. Although there were no ornate decorations and dream wedding dresses, the comrades-in-arms decorated the auditorium with everything they could find at hand, and even a comrade-in-arms who was good at the guitar played and sang a love song.
It's all simple, but it's full of warmth and sincerity. Zhang Xiaojun held my hand, and we exchanged vows amid the blessings of everyone, and at that moment, all the uneasiness and anxiety seemed to disappear.
Over time, I gradually integrated into the family. I learned how to find my place in the strict rules of the barracks, how to communicate with other military wives and cope with the difficulties of life together.
We support each other and share our joys and sorrows, and this strength of unity makes me feel warmer than ever. Just as I was getting used to life in the barracks, an unexpected news forced me to face a new challenge – I was pregnant.
Zhang Xiaojun was still in the field because he was still on a mission, so he couldn't come back to accompany me. This sudden change made me both excited and uneasy. I had to face the uncertainty of my pregnancy alone, and it was a new test for me.
During that time, I learned how to deal with unexpected family problems on my own, such as a broken water pipe. Although I couldn't do heavy physical work, I tried my best to command and coordinate, and finally solved the problem with the help of my comrades.
Through these experiences, I have come to realize that as a military wife, I am not only a pillar of support in my family, but also an integral part of this team.

For the months of pregnancy, I was alone in the barracks. In the dead of night, I would lie in bed, looking at the ceiling, imagining Zhang Xiaojun on the distant frontier.
My heart is often filled with anxiety and loneliness, but at the same time, there is an inexplicable force that supports me, which is the expectation of the soon-to-be-born child and the sense of responsibility for the family.
As my due date approached, my feelings became more and more complicated. One day, the military battalion received news that Zhang Xiaojun's troops had suffered an accident during an operation, and the details were unknown.
This sudden news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and I was stunned. Life in the barracks suddenly became depressing, everyone was paying attention to the latest news, and I was so distraught that I didn't know what to do.
A few days of waiting seemed like centuries to me. Finally, the army sent news that although Zhang Xiaojun was injured, his life was fine and he was being treated.
The moment I heard the news, I burst into tears, both because of relief and because I couldn't see him right away.
During this time, I was alone facing the upcoming production, and my heart was filled with countless uneasiness and worries. I often go for a walk alone at night, trying to calm my emotions.
During these long nights, I learned to fight my fears and insecurities, and I became more empathetic to the feelings of the military wives who were going through the same situation as me.

Just when I felt the most helpless, the military wives in the barracks united and gave me tremendous support. They take turns chatting with me, helping me prepare for upcoming productions, and even organizing small gatherings to encourage me.
With these heartwarming gestures, I felt a special sense of belonging and the strength of the team. Eventually, on a moonlit night, I gave birth to a healthy boy with the help of a military doctor.
At that moment, all the pain and uneasiness turned into joy and tears. I hugged my child tightly and prayed silently in my heart, hoping that Zhang Xiaojun would recover soon and that the family would be reunited soon.
At this special moment, I deeply realized the pride and responsibility of being a military wife, as well as the unique tenacity and love. A few weeks later, Zhang Xiaojun finally recovered from his injuries and returned to the barracks.
When he saw our child for the first time, his eyes glistened with tears, and he hugged us tightly, as if he wanted to make up for the loss and pain of this time. At that moment, all the difficulties and challenges seemed to pay off.
Standing in the small courtyard of the barracks, our family of three held hands and watched the sunset slowly set, and our hearts were full of emotion. I recorded this extraordinary experience in my diary.
wrote: "As a military wife, I have experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but every step has forged my strength and courage. This experience was not only my personal growth, but also a testimony to the unbreakable love of our family. ”
The story is about how a woman found strength in the face of adversity, not only to preserve her family, but also to hold on to her hopes and dreams for the future.
Li Junhua's story is a microcosm shared by many military wives, and her experience inspires everyone who still moves forward bravely in the face of difficulties.
